Pollock(2000)

Portraying one of this century´s most influential artists actor / director Ed Harris goes to extraordinary lengths in giving an accurate image of Jackson Pollock´s often troublesome life. With ten years in the making “Pollock” has been a labour of love for Harris which so far has been richly rewarded with rave reviews and two Academy Award nominations – one for Ed Harris for Best Actor and one Marcia Gay Harden for Best Supporting Actress.
 Jackson Pollock became America’s first “Art Star” and his bold paintings changed the course of modern art. But the torments that plagued his days – perhaps the ones that drove him to paint in the first place – haunted him for his whole life.
